Synopsis

Marcus becomes envious of a new student named Taylor Evermore who Juniper starts to hang out with. Unfortunately, Taylor happens to be the son of Loki, who is trying to use the power of the Te Xuan Ze to get him out of imprisonment.

Recap

June goes on a carnival with Marcus and despite being in the middle of a monster-fight, gets off easy once she mentions she really wants to go on the date with Marcus.
When it's a new day at school and June and Marcus are getting along especially well, Jody suddenly busts onto the scene with news of a new boy at school who is "dreamy cute!" The new boy is named Taylor Evermore and has just moved in from another city, all the girls in the whole school become infatuated with him.

At the school triathlon try-outs, Taylor encourages June to try harder at the events, especially since who's going to let Melissa and her cronies win? June is surprised at someone commending her efforts at all and finds that he's right. Along the way, Ophelia joins her in beating the middle-school records just out of spite towards Melissa. At the end of the day, the of kids enjoy Taylor's company and him and June seem to be getting along the best. When Taylor leaves, June sees that Marcus is jealous but he says that it's also something about Taylor himself that seems off.

When Taylor gets home, it is revealed he's only at the school to get closer to June to use her as a replacement for his father Loki to get him out of his banishment cage. Loki promises Taylor that they'll have all the father-son time in the world once their plan succeeds. Seeing his dad happy about the plan, Taylor mentions off-handedly that Juniper is pretty cool. Loki gets mad and threatens to banish him, Taylor feels hurt by this and gets mad back as from his perspective, that's all that his dad ever does, banishing anyone for just about anything, including his mom. Loki tells him to just do the job the next time.

The next day, Taylor readies his plan but is unprepared for one set back: June not winning at all. June is doing well at all the events until Monroe takes her to the side and warns her about grabbing too much attention with all the record-defying feats.

Loki gets impatient and wants Taylor to just finish the job already. Taylor reassures him that once June wins, any of the medals she'll wear will transport her and only her to where Loki is imprisoned. Despite his efforts, he still has a hard time getting June to wear any of the medals as June does anything in her power to have someone else win. Ophelia and Marcus win the Triathlon in their age-group and Taylor has almost given up and already thinks of being banished, until he notices that Marcus has given June his own medal out of pity for her trying so hard and still losing. Ecstatic about his plan finally working, he zaps at June and transports the both of them to where Loki is kept. Seeing that his father really aims to go through with the original plan though, he pleads with his father to think of another choice and spare June because he really likes her as a friend. Loki is having none of it and reprimanding his son for getting a crush on some pre-pubescent goody-two-shoes, demands the Te Xuan Ze delivered as promised.

When Taylor fights back, Juniper suddenly wakes up and is taken aback from seeing Taylor as responsible and as Loki's son. She lashes out at him in anger and Taylor briefly tries to explain it's not as it seems. Loki interrupts them with an explosion and in the confusion, uses June's Te Xuan Ze bracelet to release himself from the cage, emerging in full form.

June and him have a brief stand-off, but it's obvious that June doesn't stand a chance against him alone, so Taylor steps against his father, throwing fire-balls at him and going on a full attack. They both transform and fight a fierce battle that June is witness to. Just as it seems that Loki could be winning, Taylor traps him back in his original cage and banishes Loki himself. Loki pleads with promises of actual father-son bonding but his words fall short, as Taylor zaps the chains of the cage, releasing them both into an endless pit. As he falls with the cage, he says goodbye to an astonished Juniper, who is then promptly transported back to her own house by Monroe.

The next day, the kids wonder what happened to Taylor and think it's sad that he had to leave so soon, the girls start talking about how cute Taylor was. Seeing Marcus wilt at the mention of this, June re-assures him that Taylor is as cute as him. They both get embarrassed and dash off-screen.

June: You haven't kidnapped me and popped me down to the underworld?

Taylor: Yes, but I-

June: Or was just throwing lightning volts at me, and acting all nice like you liked me trying to give me presents? (Loki is getting bored of listening to them and starts opening and closing his hand like a mouth) No, you're just the son of the big honking demon god of lies!

Loki: Oh, enough already!

Loki: (getting out of his cage) Ahh, never send a boy to do a man's job.

Loki: (after Taylor locks him up in the cage) Taylor, son, I know I haven't always been the best of fathers but I'm ready to change all that. I want us to be closer, buddies, pals, amigos. Hey I know, whaddya say we go outside, throw the football around for awhile, maybe cook up some burgers!

Taylor: Give it up, old man. (breaks the cage's chains, on the way down to the void he says goodbye) See ya, June.

Loki: That does it! No television for a century mister!!! (falls into the void)

Jody: Hey June, did you see where Taylor went after the meet? He just kind of, disappeared.

June: Um, yeah, he had to go out of town. I think his dad got... transfered.

June: Yeah well, maybe not entirely.

Jody: He was really cute!

June: (laughing) Yeah, so cute!

June: Crazy cute! (sees Marcus wilt at this)

June: ..But, you're way cuter! (Both smile, then realize what June just said

Loki: And from now on we're going to have some ground rules! Because as long as long as you're living under MY roof, you are going to do as I say!

Taylor: I'm not under your roof dad, I'm on top of it! (jumps off the cage and starts to do the backstroke away from it)

Loki: Where do you think you're going?! Hey, don't you float away from me, mister man! We are not done talking yet! Void or no void, you've got a curfew! (Taylor kicks his legs with his hands behind his head away from the cage) Have your butt home by eleven!
